Working Girl Simpson

The 'Dukes of Hazzard' actress is desperate to land her first starring role in a film and has her sights set on playing Tess McGill - the role which won Melanie Griffith an Oscar nomination in the original 1988 movie.

Her spokesperson told the New York Daily News: "It is one of the scripts Jessica is considering."

In 'Working Girl' Tess McGill is a fresh-faced secretary with dreams of rising to the top - and the 25-year-old blonde is convinced this is the perfect role for her to make her mark in Hollywood.
